XXL shoulder bags

The oversized bag is appealing whether you find yourself backing the widespread bohemian trend or not. Case in point: the luxe and extra-roomy shoulder bags from Chloe, Ferragamo, Loewe, Khaite and Bottega Veneta. Boho in nature, these larger-than-life bags are perfect for anyone who carries a lot on the move. Just don’t blame us when you can’t find your keys!

Ladylike clutches

From folder-sized envelopes at Bottega Veneta, to classic handheld clutches at The Row and pouches tucked under the arm at Proenza Schouler, you’ll want to hold this season’s clutches close. Styled with outerwear and sunglasses at Bottega Veneta, the clutch seems to be intended as the same kind of grab-and-go handbag as any other shoulder bag or crossbody, and is large enough to house plenty of your personals. Meanwhile, the pouches at The Row and Proenza Schouler give off a desirable sense of ease, despite having to use your hand rather than a handle to carry, bringing a level of nonchalance to even the simplest of outfits.

Charming!

It’s always fun to see how personal style and street-style influences show up on the runways. For autumn 2024, it was all about handbags that were decorated with trinkets and charms. Baubles, keychains, tassels, and pouches offered a playful spin on classic leather handbags seen at Miu Miu and Coach. And while you can certainly add your own flair to the bags you have already have hanging in your closet, be it strings of beads or bandanas, brands like Balenciaga and Chopova Lowena offer pre-accessorised styles.

Bags that don’t need an introduction

You know that old saying, “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it”? The same theory applies for handbags – be it those that have stood the test of time, like Gucci’s Jackie and 1961, and Prada’s Galleria and Noughties Re-Editions – or have been brand bestsellers for a handful of seasons. Promoting key handbag families while presenting new collections is perhaps a stroke of genius for both the brand and the consumer, proving signature styles’ longevity while perhaps also convincing any new customers these investment pieces are forever in style.
